To experience, that is the purpose of this world. But without us, you, to witness it, it is dead. The world is alive because the Spirit bestows life upon it: God breathed into Man the breath of life.
But God so loves His Creation that He is being one with it.
We are one with our divine Father, but we forgot this when we ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and came into this world of polarity interpreted as duality (separation). And, in this world, we enter different states of being. We embody different identities. We crawl and we walk. We laugh and we cry. All is here for us to experience.

At night, when the dream is beautiful, we lose ourselves in the dream, falling into a deep sleep. We wake up in the morning wanting to fall asleep again, wishing the dream never ended.
When the dream is frightful, we look to one side and to the other one, trying to find a way out of this reality. But a nightmare during the night sleep prompts the sleeper to do their best to somehow wake up, succeeding at this and realizing “it was just a dream”. So too do “real”-life nightmares offer us this cue to open our eyes and see what is actually in front of us.
If the dream was only pleasant, would you ever want to rise? Would you open your eyes to see His glory if the only glory you see is the glory of the world of Caesar? With unopened eyes, we perceive the light of God as we perceive the sun gleaming through our closed eyelids in the morning. The physical is a symbol of the mystery, a representation of divinity.
When the dream shakes you up, you awaken, and you discover your asleepness through your awakeness, your Unconsciousness through Consciousness.

While you’re here in this world and until you leave your physical incarnation, allow this experience to be lovely for yourself, as wonderful as it is being. Enjoy it! Fully take it in. Continue dreaming, but do so lucidly, always with Truth present. Live the paradox of being awake in the dream of life, a lucid life dreamer.
When the dream of life is lovely, relish in appreciation of God’s awe-inspiring Creation. And if it feels like a nightmare, catch yourself when the dream starts appearing to you as real and thank Him for the opportunity to show your faith. Fear enhances the illusion of separation, but it is all one.
He is not “with” you. He is within you. He is all around you. There is no true separation.
And when you awake, you are. You are one with Him.
